Abstract: |
Simulation studies of the economic impact of dual in- come
taxes are almost always based on general equilib- rium models. They assume
one representative household. Their results are sensitive to one behavioral
parameter, the labor supply elasticity, which is assumed to
be given a priori — instead of being estimated. This
paper shows how to model the labor supply in- centive effects of a Dual
Income Tax reform based on a sample of thousands of households representative
for the population in Germany and using flexible mixed logit simulation
estimators. |
